No More Diets

I tore a ligament in my knee a while ago, what exercises will maintain a trim waist?

If you do any sort of damage to yourself, it’s wise to consult a physiotherapist to get some exercises that will

• build up the injured part of your body once (or while) it heals
• allow you to work on the rest of your body without further putting pressure on your injury.

Apart from that, my general view on exercise is just to be sensible.

If something hurts then it’s not doing you any good. (And I don’t just mean if something is hard work - I mean if it hurts!)

So I would look at all the traditional forms of stomach exercise such as crunches and sit ups as well as the free course you can get from me of easy stomach exercises to do standing up and see what works best for you.

If traditional crunches AND standing exercises are both unsuitable for one reason or another, do as much as you can of the standing exercises seated in a chair. You won’t get the full benefit but you will get some.
